Default 97 Turbo NY Auto Show Car

Anyone familiar with the 97 Turbo (Glacier White, Cashmere w/ White Painted wheels) for sale by Forman Motorsports in Phoenix? See link below. Thinking about taking a look but wanted to know if there was any info out there about this example. See link below.

Thanks.

ASKING price and SELLING price can be two very different #s!

Still for sale. Most cars at Forman are on consignment so it depends on how realistic and motivated the seller is. Forman is closing up shop this spring in Phoenix and mpving back to the midwest so I am not sure how focused they are on selling cars right now.

The badge is from a 996 turbo. But it doesn't have to mean anything really.. The pictures are kind of bad so it's difficult to make a judgement on the condition of the car. The passenger side exhaust tip looks to be misaligned and the engine compartment lid is not closed or does not close fully and is misaligned.

If the car is clean he could get pretty close to that up here. More if it was silver, Arena Red or black.....

The car looks ok to me from the first view of these pics. It would be nice if it had a full carbon interior. There appears to be missing some carbon from the dash. The tailpipes don't fit as nicely as they should but that is a minor detail. In my opinion the colour is really nice especially with the matching wheels. You might want to check with Willhoit to see if there is anything there that you like. He is a site sponsor and has sold cars to many members on this site.

Yupper, but lots of these things are coming north with the parity buck and he's not far off if there's only a small colour penalty....
